Grigory Yavlinsky on the protest actions of 12 June:

“Our country has celebrated the Day of Russia being divided and not free, without a clear perspective and the rule of law. Hundreds of people [were celebrating it] in police vans or in police stations. Such a “holiday”.

I am calling on the Russian authorities to immediately release the detainees of today’s protest actions! The situation in the country can be remedied not through politicians’ provocations or police truncheons, but by means of voting in the presidential elections for a different way [of development] for our country. And then in a year already the holiday can be quite different – the real Day of Real Russia!
